Bunnies & Beasties.A stat comparison chart comparing B&B with other systems Ive found. Anaverage starting level 1 human would have a stat range of 3 to 18. For non heroes theywould have about 52 points to distribute between 5 stats. A level 1 hero as defined byTorg, Rolemaster, Usagi Yojimbo and AD&D 4 th Ed laws would have 72 points todistribute between the 5 stats and I would allow such characters to have up to 20 inany given stat. The maximum stat for anything considered human I would limit at 25.

Gamesystems

Stat value comparisons in each game. This is highly arbitrary and modifications have been made to give favourablecomparisons. The average for a normal human in each system has been given the same average in B&B: 11.

Bunnies & Beasties.Stat value chart for the five stats: Strength, Intelligence, Dexterity, Constitutionand Charisma. Ignoring all arguments, Ive decided that an average person of averagestrength and height and weight can lift his own weight, and so the values on the chartapply to how much a character can lift and how much they weigh. The stat

bonuses/penalties apply to the 5 stats as well as Size, Combat and Luck skills. Acharacters hit points can be worked out using the values on the chart by comparingthe hit points of the character to the hit points of an average human. An averagehuman by definition of the first RPG (D&D) is Level 1 or Hit Dice 1 with 1D8 hit

points (average of 4.5) Conan for example has 100 Hit points and so I would divide

100 by 4.5 getting about 22. Multiply the average human value (stat 10.5) of 79.433(or 80) by 22 getting roughly 1750 which corresponds to a stat of 28 Hit points.

Bunnies & Beasties.There is a pattern to the values. The stat bonuses are exactly the same as D&D. And

you should find that these bonuses increase in exactly the same proportion as Torg,Earthdawn, Warhammer, Shadowrun and Whitewolf stats on a one for one basis.The values in kilograms increase logarithmically: every +25 stat is a 100x differencein value. Every 25 stat you might notice is also a +10 stat bonus. This correspondsexactly to Masterbook where a +10 stat equals x100 value. This happens to be thesame in Earthdawn where an increase in 10 steps is more or less x100 valuedifference. The chart above only shows a small range and no doubt most Horrors fromChthulhu and Earthdawn, as well as Super heroes and villains will have stats higher

than those listed.

Levels or Points or Both . When publishing the game rules as a finished productfor others to use I intend to have the game a non level based system. However most of the games I play and use to convert rules here are level based and the game worlddenizens were originally designed using D&D. Also I havent bothered creating spellsand for the moment use the spell lists from Rolemaster in my games, and those are

based on level. At the moment, spells in my games are the only section that hasobvious levels to them. So by necessity levels have meaning in this system, thoughcharacters can be created on purely a point based system. In this regard, the higher level you are, the more points you have to allocate, and levels such as in Mutants andMasterminds can control limits to points spent in various areas. At this stage levels inthis system are the same as levels in Rolemaster on a one for one basis.

Bunnies & Beasties.Random Character Creation Rules and how the stats are related to each other and skills.On a players character sheet he should list these stats: Strength, Intelligence,Dexterity, Constitution, Charisma, Size, Combat, Luck, Move, Melee Adds, ParryAdds, Missile Adds, Dodge Adds, Armour, Hit Points, Recovery, Knock-back, Mana,Magic Rating and Speed.Starting characters in games I run would be level 10, have 75 points to spend on the 5stats, have 16 points to spend on skills including Combat, Hit points and Luck. Every

point spent on Hit points would increase the base value by 2. The max a character can

have in any skill is 3 points.For every 3 levels difference, increase/decrease the pool for stats by 1 point.Divide the character level by 10 and multiply by 16 to get the number of points toallocate for skills. You can look on the level comparison chart to find the maximumskill add for any level, e.g. level 50 has a max skill add of 15, 80 skill points to spendand 88 points to spend on stats.Important note: stats values are almost never used unless specifically mentioned in allsections of the rules. When a stat is quoted, always use the bonus from the stat.

Move : 8 + Dex + Size-Net Armour penalty = metres walking per 6 second round.This walking is a free action which doesnt affect doing anything else. Move x 5 =max running speed without pushing and taking damage. This counts as an entirerounds action.Melee Adds : Str + Int + Dex + Combat. This total is what you roll to hit adding thenumber to 2D10 against 11+ Parry skill.

Bunnies & Beasties.Recovery : 3+ Con = Hit Points healed per minute (10 rounds). Strict GMs couldrefuse Hit Point recovery in combat, but baby Im easy.Knock-Back : damage rolled -19 Size/2 Con/5(subtract size mod from con first)Positive number = metres knocked back per excess point. Damage from beingknocked back = 2D10-8+Size+Size; +1 per metre (if hits a wall or other verticalsurface) or +1 per 2 metres. Armour value reduces this damage.Hit Points : this is for the most part = to Size. Skill points can modify this and we cancall such a skill: shock resist, for now. When converting characters from other gamesit is clear that their total Hit Points are modified by Con. I have yet to look into this

concept for B&B originated characters. ( makes a quick calculation while typing this )How about: ( scribbles formulae, baffles himself, rubs out formulae, tries again, scratches head in bewilderment ) ok that changes matters. Hit Points are NOT equal tosize, but Con instead. As an average human has 11 Size, Con and Hit points. Con isdirectly modified by Size on a one for one basis so this method still claims that Sizeand Hit points are directly related, through the Con stat. In my effort to incorporateheroism of heroes: all PCs and special NPCs/Villains can have additional + 7 HPsto their total.

Armour : DR of the armour or Con (add half the lower value to the higher value) +Luck

Combat : normally I used combat and luck like the other 5 stats, but that was for conversions. Combat is a skill which has no stats, same with Dodge skill and Luck skill. This is a purely physical ability to fight. You add combat to all attack Addswhether melee, unarmed, missile, guns, directed spell attacks, psionic blasts and super

powered energy blasts. The type of defence depends on the attack, Parry for close up,Dodge for ranged and new skill of mental defence for mind blasts. For now no onehas any such defence and they us INT alone, though like parry and dodge we couldtry adding Combat/2 also.

Luck : luck uses no stat. we add it to armour and damage of most attacks. Attacks, likespells, which do not target a physical defence like parry and dodge, do not add luck tothe effect. In the case of area attacks the attacker must designate a primary target toadd luck to. If he lands his explosion in the middle of a group without targetinganyone then none receive the extra damage. Luck is also used in various other situations such as saving throws to avoid harmful effects. Luck/5 rounded down isadded to all untrained skills (I havent been able to test if it would work for this bonusto be applied to ALL skills). For other games: the higher level you are the higher

youre combat and luck skills will be. Luck is sort of a trait for those with the killer instinct. Assassins will have higher luck than paladins.I dont know how best to describe luck and will welcome any name suggestions for it.I am using Tunnels & Trolls name for it, and toyed with the idea from studying theAmbush skill in Rolemaster. It represents daring, the will to live and win, luck, theability of skilled heroes to cut down lesser skilled opponents in one slash, the abilityof those to avoid and survive lesser attacks: many things to describe the main hero.Mana : spells and such are for another time.
